Market Overview:
The global milling cutter market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for milling cutters in various applications, such as automotive, shipping, aerospace & defense, equipment manufacturing, metal and material processing, and others. In terms of type, the HSS (high speed steel) segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global milling cutter market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high wear resistance and toughness properties as compared with other types of materials used in milling cutters.

Product Definition:
Milling cutter is a cutting tool used in milling machine. It is used to remove the material from the workpiece. Milling cutter has two or more flutes which helps in removing the material quickly.
HSS (High Speed Steel):
High Speed Steel (HSS) is a type of steel with high carbon and low alloy content. It has excellent toughness, wear resistance and superior hardness. HSS offers good corrosion resistance at high temperatures which makes it suitable for use in milling cutters where the cutting speed can exceed Mach 3.0.
The global market size was valued at USD 1,849 million in 2015.
Cemented Carbide:
Cemented carbide is a composite material made up of fine particles of cement and carbon. The composition allows the product to cut faster with less wear and tear as compared to traditional cutting tools. It's high density results in increased performance for a longer period, which makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications like milling cutters used in metal processing industries.
The global market size was valued at USD 1,Bn in 2015.
Application Insights:
The global milling cutter market is segmented by application into automotive, shipping, aerospace & defense, equipment manufacturing, metal and material processing and other applications. The other applications include pharmaceuticals and food processing industries. The automotive application segment accounted for the largest share in 2017 owing to the increasing demand for high precision cutting tools from various automobile manufacturers including Ford Motor Company LLC., General Motors Company LLC., Toyota Motor Corporation., Volkswagen AG., etc.
The metal and material processing industry is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period due to rising demand from end-use industries such as construction materials (elements such as steel), mining (elemental metals)and others (chemical elements). In addition, rapid industrialization in developing countries coupled with a growing population will boost product demand over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global milling cutter market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, such as China, India, and Japan. These countries are experiencing strong economic growth owing to rapid industrialization and increasing foreign investments. Moreover, these countries have a large number of manufacturers who are adopting advanced technologies for manufacturing their products with high efficiency.
The Asia Pacific was followed by North America which accounted for a revenue share of 22% in 2017 owing to growing automotive production coupled with significant aerospace & defense spending by governments around the world including U.S.
Europe also held a considerable share of global market space due to high demand from end-use industries such as metal processing (for machining parts) and woodworking (for shaping wood components).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturized components in the electronics and automotive industries
- Growing popularity of three-dimensional printing technology
- Rising demand for high-performance milling cutters from the aerospace industry
- Proliferation of CNC machines in small and medium-sized enterprises
- Increasing adoption of additive manufacturing technology
